When someone shares their thoughts (like some random typer like me) on the internet or in person, it’s important to know where they’re coming from.  What is their perspective?  What is the foundation their basing their thought/position on?  What is their past?

Current FI Mode. 

Where on the FI journey is the thought-person?  Notice I didn’t say “though LEADER.”  I’m so sick of “leaders” and “influencers.”  All of this spewing of thoughts is nothing more than someone wanting to share something for themself.  Yep, I get the irony.

I’m at the beach home.  I’m just hanging out doing my normal things.  Exercise, Relax, Compute, Observe, Repeat.

Observation

I notice a common, consistent thread—young women often travel in clusters and very frequently have a clear cup with an ice beverage that slips away through their straw.

I’ve been thinking about wealth recently.

I was on a 2-week cruise to Iceland from Ireland.  There were 250+ passengers on the SilverSea Expedition ship who were getting out into the world–into an active lifestyle of exploring and cruising.

If you don’t know, SilverSea is a luxury cruise line.  My friends really enjoy these cruises, and I enjoy being with this selected family, so my wife and I often sail with them.

I’ve been reading The Childfree Guide to Life and Money. Great book so far. It mentioned you spend 1/3 of your day at work. Others, not me, because I’m FIREd.

I was thinking this should be more like HALF your week-LIFE is consumed by work stuff.

I decided to do my own calculation on the time percentage by day that work takes up.

My month started quite simply – the first two weekends would be spent attending CampFI Rocky Mountain Colorado.  I’d also have a nice 4 days in between in Longmont, CO, the Mecca of FI life.

Just days before the camps began, I decided to change from weekend 2 to mid-week 1.5 with a return to Phx , then the beach in the days after.
